We evaluated comparatively trough a randomized perspective study the hernioplasty by Bassini technique and the Trabucco repair, respectively using general and local anaesthesia, in a group of 80 patients. We studied incidence of complications and recurrences, surgery, in-patient hospitalization time, postoperative pain, costs and work resuming. Trabucco repair had better results in each considered parameter: hospitalization time, pain and costs respectively 80%, 50% and 66% lower vs Bassini technique; moreover we found no recurrence and work resuming two weeks shorter.
